A boutique hotel directly across from Wrigley Field, named after Cubs founder Charles W. Murphy, featuring Cubs-themed décor, rooftop access with views of the ballpark, and multiple restaurants and bars.
Hotel Zachary Chicago stands at 3630 North Clark Street in Wrigleyville, a storied north-side neighborhood in Illinois defined by its proximity to Wrigley Field and a vibrant bar and dining culture that draws sports fans and locals alike throughout the calendar year. The hotel takes its name from Zachary Taylor Davis, the architect who designed Wrigley Field in 1914, and was developed as part of a broader revitalization of the Wrigleyville block directly across from the ballpark. Its 173 guest rooms and suites face the stadium or surrounding streets, and the property is openly designed around the baseball experience while offering enough amenity depth to attract non-sports travelers seeking a distinctive boutique stay.
The building's brick and limestone facade references the architectural vernacular of the Wrigleyville neighborhood, and the interiors carry a curated design language drawing on Cubs history: vintage baseball photography, memorabilia displays, and custom artwork reference the team's legacy. The rooftop bar provides a partial view into Wrigley Field, making it one of the only hotel vantage points in Chicago with sightlines into an active Major League Baseball stadium. Standard rooms are generously appointed with leather headboards, blackout drapes, and Malin+Goetz bath amenities.
The hotel's dining footprint is significant for its size: multiple restaurants and bars operate within the building, including Smoke Daddy, a longstanding Chicago BBQ institution, Mordecai (named for baseball legend Mordecai Brown), and Bar Zachary. The rooftop bar is seasonal and fills quickly on game days. A fitness center is available for guest use. The concierge team assists with Cubs game ticket purchases and coordinates group visits to the ballpark, which is a literal two-minute walk from the lobby doors.
Hotel Zachary is part of the Marriott Autograph Collection and participates in the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, offering points earning and redemption on all eligible stays.
